Simpson 3/16 x 2-1/4 Flat Head Titen Turbo Screw Anchor by Simpson is a high-performance concrete and masonry screw anchor engineered for fast, reliable wood-to-concrete and wood-to-masonry anchoring. The patented reverse thread design cuts directly into concrete or masonry, delivering strong holding power while requiring less torque during installation - saving time and reducing installer fatigue on demanding jobsite applications. The zinc plated with ceramic coating provides corrosion resistance, and the flat head profile sits flush for clean, professional finished results.

Key Features

• Flat Head profile - sits flush against the work surface for a clean, low-profile finish in wood-to-concrete connections
• Patented reverse thread design - cuts smoothly into concrete or masonry with less driving torque, reducing installer effort and speeding up installation
• 3/16 in. diameter x 2-1/4 in. length - a compact, versatile size suited for light-duty anchoring in concrete and masonry substrates
• Zinc plated with ceramic coating - adds a layer of corrosion protection over carbon steel, helping the anchor hold up in typical interior and covered applications
• T25 6-Lobe drive type - provides excellent bit engagement and torque transfer, reducing cam-out during driving and improving installation control
• Carbon steel construction - delivers the structural strength needed for dependable wood-to-concrete and wood-to-masonry anchoring
• 5/32 in. drill bit diameter required - a precise, tight pilot hole for maximum thread engagement and superior holding power in concrete or masonry
• Standard Blue color - easy visual identification on the jobsite, helping you quickly confirm you have the right anchor for the application

Why This Product

• The reverse thread design tackles one of the most common anchoring frustrations - high torque requirements - by cutting cleanly into concrete or masonry so driving feels smooth and controlled from start to finish.
• The T25 6-Lobe drive minimizes cam-out and stripped heads, meaning fewer wasted fasteners and less frustration when driving into hard substrates like concrete or block.
• Zinc plated with ceramic coating gives this carbon steel anchor better corrosion resistance than an uncoated fastener, making it a dependable choice for covered and interior concrete anchoring applications.
• The flat head profile is ideal wherever a flush or countersunk finish is required, allowing wood members to lie tight against the substrate for solid, rattle-free connections.

Frequently Asked Questions

What size pilot hole do I need to drill for this screw anchor?

A 5/32 in. diameter drill bit is required to create the correct pilot hole for the 3/16 in. Titen Turbo screw anchor. Using the correct bit size ensures maximum thread engagement and optimal holding power in concrete or masonry.

What drive tool do I need to install this anchor?

This anchor uses a T25 6-Lobe drive. You will need a T25 6-Lobe bit to install it. The 6-Lobe interface provides excellent torque transfer and helps prevent cam-out during driving.

What is the Titen Turbo's reverse thread design and why does it matter?

The patented reverse thread design enables the anchor to cut smoothly into concrete or masonry as it is driven, requiring less torque than a conventional concrete screw. This makes installation faster and reduces strain on both the installer and the drive tool.

What is this anchor's coating, and what does it mean for corrosion resistance?

The anchor features a zinc plated with ceramic coating over carbon steel. This combination provides a level of corrosion protection suitable for typical covered and interior concrete or masonry anchoring applications.
